can i do sth like this?

-->Me![ComboBoxName].Enabled = False

What is the name of your Combo box (in NAME PROPERTIES) ???

Also, what event do you have Me.ComboName.Enabled = False in?

i have a combo box named "type" which is disable when the form is first loaded.
when i click a button "new", "type" should become enabled.

therefore, i built an On Click event on the "new" button which is like the following-->

Private Sub hardnew_Click()
Me.AllowAdditions = True
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
Me![type].Enabled = False
End Sub

can the above coding work?

Oh....i have found out the my stupid mistake already.
Thank you for all your help !!

Again, thank you all !!

Well, yeah! You have Me![type].Enabled = False when you want the the combobox enabled!

Also note that type is a Reserved Word in Access, and as such shouldn't be used as an object name! You need to change this to something else because sooner or later it's going to cause you grief! You can include type in the name, just don't use simply type.
